University student. Doing business. Not that tech savvy. I will learn some programing languages because finding a job(a good one) gets harder and harder every year.

Research CRO Analyst.
Not technical, but always interested in technical advances.
I'm a data analyst that's started to do more data science stuff (learning SQL/python) but not sure I would quite class myself as technical yet.
Non-tech user here. Well I'm tech-minded I think, and tech-savvy. I know enough code to say that I thoroughly dislike PHP and Javascript. But that's about it.
I think "fediverse" and "instances" are terms many non-tech-oriented might find confusing. and off-putting, maybe because they're not immediately intuitive. I'm aware of the concept of instancing but wasn't sure how or where to create an account at first. I made an account on world because I figured I'd probably see more content there? I don't know.
And making a new account for each instance? I'm not entirely sure if that's how it works yet but that's my understanding. It's intimidating, it's daunting. Plus I'm not as tech savvy as a lot of the people here. It's not that it's uninviting, really--quite the opposite, in fact--but I still have this imposter syndrome-like feeling that I'm not supposed to be here.
Idk. That's my take.

Yeah, I agree. I'm a programmer, and I too would also expect the majority of people using decentralized platforms have a technical background.
Non-tech background sort of? Work in games but on the localization end of things.
Not in a technical here - I've worked on jets and cars, have done retail management and now program management in the public sector. Though my dad was an electronic engineer in silicon valley in the '70s and '80s so our family adopted technology early and I learned to code very young, but tech stuff has remained a hobby rather than profession.
